SERVING COFFEE ANDSECOND CHANCES

CHANGING LIVES,CHALLENGING PERCEPTIONS

Brewbird was established in 2014 and is the social enterprise arm of the award winning St Giles Trust, a charity that works with a wide range of socially excluded people including ex-offenders and young people at risk of involvement with the criminal justice system.

As well as great coffee and cake, our main focus is to give ex-offenders a second chance and put their past behind them. Over 60% of people coming out of prison re-offend within their first year of release. We believe that by giving these people the opportunity to get straight into a working environment, we can drastically cut this number. Our employees receive training in barista and baking skills, as well as customer service and management, all in a judgement-free environment that allows them to shine.
